Having to sell lambs in full wool is the latest in a series of difficult decisions being made by Eulo graziers Mac and Mary Haig.

The couple live in a part of the Paroo shire that’s seen barely a drop of rain since 2013.

In Mary’s words, they are experiencing “a drought like no other” at Alroy.

“Other droughts have gone on longer but this has been worse – we’ve had nowhere to go,” she said.

They’d normally run 3500 sheep and 600 cows but are now down to 90 cows, 1400 ewes and 900 wethers.

Mac’s father bought the 22,660ha property in 1930, when he was 16, and Mac said drought had been part of life since then, but the short reprieve between dry spells this time is making things so much more difficult.

“I’m not sure what’s going to happen,” he said. “Everyone’s selling their weaners, and we’re going to end up with paddocks of old cows or full mouth ewes.”
